Repetitive Picklist
Calculation
(18.22.3.1)
inventory from its current inventory location to the work center. This
move is a location transfer, not an issue to WIP, so there are no GL
transactions until the inventory is backflushed.
Example Item A is installed in four different end items at work center
OPS. The work center has 900 of Item A on location. For the next week,
the repetitive schedules for these items have a total requirement of 1,000.
The repetitive picklist calculation will show a shortage of 100 of Item A
at OPS and detail allocates 100 at the inventory location. When the
picklist is printed, the 100 will be shown as picked, and 100 will be
moved to location OPS when the transfer is run. The inventory will not
be issued until labor is reported for each operation.
Note To use picklists, you must set up a location with the same name as
the work center.
Calculate the Picklist
Calculate the picklist and create detail allocations using Repetitive
Picklist Calculation (18.22.3.1). The calculation considers component
requirements from the exploded repetitive schedules that match the sites,
items, work centers, and production dates specified.
For a new schedule creating requirements at a work center with no
shortages, Repetitive Picklist Calculation uses the following equation.
Shortage at Work Center = New Requirements – Net Available
Where net available equals:
Actual OH – Qty Alloc – Qty Req by Other Scheds + Untransferred Picked
